There are those gifted people, though, who can memorize anything. You know the type: the ones that never had to study in school and still made 100’s while you’d studied all night and barely pull off a B…or [...]

And never has a movie been more awesome than The Avengers! Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) all come together to form a team of badasses [...]

The Untold Story of the American Superheroines. This documentary follows the path from the beginning of the first superheroine to the strong action women of today. Scholars, authors, and [...]

You can check out my interview with these lovely people at MTVGeek.com. They have [...]

He consistently produces fantastic work and is one of the best at writing strong female characters. Somewhere between Firefly and The Avengers Whedon co-wrote his first true-blue horror film, The Cabin in the Woods, with  Drew Goddard. This flick was so good if it were a hired escort, I’d empty [...]

Then you can pick apart all that sucks about it. However, when a film is good, sometimes there isn’t much to say other than: it’s great, watch it. Well, The Raid is great. Watch it! The Raid (The Raid: Redemption in the [...]

Based on the three book series by Susanne Collins (The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay), the film had incredibly big shoes to fill. The first book especially is freakin’ fantastic and will engage readers of all ages despite [...]

However, for those of you who need more info than that, Lockout is about a guy named Snow (Guy Pearce), a “loose cannon” wrongfully accused and imprisoned for espionage against the U.S.. Apparently, he is also the [...]

Take two buddies, who just happen to be secret agents, add one beautiful woman, throw in a dash of covert antics, shake liberally… and you have what is an enjoyable time at the movies. Plus three points: one for former queen of the romantic comedies, [...]

Seems like every time the dude steps foot in a car it wrecks and/or blows up. Maybe he’s saved so much with Geico he just doesn’t care! MI 4’s story [...]

In Underworld: Awakening, she reprises her role as Selene, a vampire with a cold gaze and enough cold-blooded ruthlessness to keep an entire meat freezer cool. In this fourth installment of the Underworld series, the humans have discovered that vampires and Lycans [...]
